go do...

there are plenty of new PHOTOS from our children's day field trip on may 5th to the science museum and palace. most of them are just of my students, so of course not much to look at ;)

listen to your teacher: you should probably listen to jonsi's "go" if you haven't already.

highlights of the field trip: getting to be OUTSIDE with my lovely students all day (although they had to wear their uniforms and it was really warm) just taking photos and breathing in the fresh air at the flowery palace.

yesterday (yes, a saturday) was the official "teacher's day" in korea. in morning chapel friday, they lit sparklers and sung a song for all the teachers and my homeroom later in the day surprised me with flowers, grapes, sparklers, balloons, singing and hugs.

are-you-serious-moment #1: when i gave my students their "quiz" - create a song or rap (that will be performed monday...) about a country or region in Africa (which we are currently studying in geography). i can't wait.

we have a three-day weekend coming up and being just before my birthday, i'm trying to figure out what to do with an extra day!

UPDATE:

korea won 2-0 over ecuador last night!
the fans were crazy, like sounders fans, but there was at least one stark difference...
